Our comprehensive guide on online bingo helps players to win more!

House Design

Online bingo is consistently advertised in a variety of ways. In the UK it is often impossible to turn on the television without seeing a bingo ad at some point, and this is true in many other countries as well, with forms of advertising including posters and radio ads. Many websites offer slightly different versions of online bingo, some where the focus is more on money, and some where meeting other players and making friends online is the main goal.

In order to choose a bingo site that meets your needs you will need to do your research first, look at reviews of the site you are interested in and if possible, talk to someone who has used the website before. Once you’ve made your decision, try and use the free websites first, as this gives you the option to find another one if this one doesn’t suit your needs.

House GOP Plans to Gut Ethics Commission, Block Archival of January 6 Records

September 10, 2024 Kartika

House Design

McCarthy has proposed eliminating the office which is considering investigating him for actions related to January 6th.

House Rep. .

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-California), the Republican leader currently embroiled in a contentious battle over his candidacy for speaker of the House, has proposed new rules that would allow the party to remove the ethics commission that oversees members of the House, the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE).

The proposed rule change comes as the office considers whether or not to initiate an investigation into Republican representatives and open them to disciplinary action for their role in the attack on the Capitol and their behavior during the subsequent investigation. The probe was opened by the committee January 6, which recommended in its final hearing that lawmakers who avoided subpoenas, including McCarthy herself, be investigated.

McCarthy had suggested imposing term limits on the OCE, which would eliminate every Democrat on the board

Fashionable furniture: The hotels in Europe put design center stage

July 23, 2023 Kartika

House Design

When selecting furnishing, “hotels are normally looking for something a bit more wow in terms of installation and maybe larger in scale,” designer Alexander Lamont says.

One of the latest hotel openings in Istanbul is VAKKO Hotel & Residence, located in the upmarket Nişantaşı neighborhood.

It feels like staying in a design showroom – the corridors are paneled with sleek black marble, the rooms have contemporary sculptures on display and the restaurant captures the style of a chic Parisian bistro.

This is the first hospitality venture of Turkish fashion house VAKKO and joins a growing trend of design-led hotels where stylish furniture and stand-alone interior pieces take center stage.

How is furniture designed for hotels?

Alexander Lamont is a Bangkok-based, British designer known for his furniture, lighting collections, art and accessories.

Some of his best work has been used in prestigious hotels such as The Connaught, The Mandarin Oriental Doha,

Are shutters outdated? Interior designers weigh in

House Design

Often reserved for older homes with more traditional schemes, shutters might not be your first port of call when you’re deciding on a new window treatment. After all, with so many other options on offer – including some, like slubby linen curtains, that are dominating interior design trends at the moment – these classic finishes are getting less of a look-in than they used to.

So does that mean shutters are outdated? Well, no, not necessarily. They can still be an incredibly practical way to increase privacy and

House Design

Fresh from a dramatic redesign, this striking home in the prestigious Brentwood Park district of Los Angeles has got us all talking (and slightly green with envy). One of the world’s best homesit was built in the late-1980s in the Mediterranean architectural style and has two levels.

Its redesign came about as a result of a flood that had affected both floors of the house, and the homeowners asked designer Tancred Vilucchi to take charge without delay.

The designer happily agreed to the project as it was clear the owners were open-minded and trusted him to be creative with the house which he felt had massive potential. ‘The water damage was an emergency factor that created a challenge and I love challenges!’ he says.

Looking at the house now, you’d never guess at the trauma that led to its current good looks. Designer Tancred Vilucchi picks out his favorite

House Design

A panel of experts selected four one-storey and four two-storey housing designs from the competition as winners, and the plans for those housing developments have now been made available for purchase at $1,000 each.

The floor plans for all the projects are 90m² or less, and are all two-bedrooms and one- to two baths, but range in styles from single family homes to row-houses to a cube house.

Even though the designs came from people across Canada, a majority of the winners were locals.

Vernon’s Alyssa Quiring and Dora Anderson won with their submissions for the ‘Familiar Faces’ and ‘The Sprout’ designs.

Kelowna’s Levi Weaver won twice with his ‘The Louise’ and ‘The Francis’ designs.

The ‘Single Storey’ design by Dennis Lowe of Salmon Arm was another winner from this competition.

House Design

There is a house, and there is House. The good endures, inspires curiosity, and instills a stamp of revived creativity in anyone who visits. But the historic home, and the tour that accompanies it, isn’t a monolith. Some are genuine treasures that have never been lost, and others are masterpieces from special sources. Some have been demolished, rebuilt from scratch and rebuilt from old records. Whether preserved through love or money, or both, these boxes of American design jewels endure through the ages, and designers never tire of looking through their inspirational gold mines. Here, the designer shares their favorite historic homes across the US — with a special emphasis on the East coast.

This Midcentury Portland Home’s Transformation Took Nearly Five Years

House Design

Casey Keasler values experiential learning. The founder of interior design firm Casework recently completed a nearly five-year renovation of her 1966 Portland, Oregon, home, which she affectionately calls the “Ranchalow” thanks to its ranch-meets-bungalow vibe. “I used the house as a bit of a testing ground,” the designer says. “Doing a lot of the work myself gave me a better understanding of the details and process, which strengthened the design as well as my relationships with vendors and tradespeople.”

In conceiving a design scheme for the 1,250-square-foot mid-century home that would suit her needs and reflect her personal style, Casey followed the same process as she does for all her clients. “We are very calculated as we develop the palette and vision, and always set three key phrases,” she explains. For her own home they are: “golden hour”—the warmth and glow of that really beautiful September sunshine; “easy like Sunday

MediaTek Taiwan ranked 5th largest IC design house for Q3 | Taiwan News

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwanese chip maker MediaTek was ranked the fifth largest IC designer by revenue in the third quarter by market research firm TrendForce.

MediaTek saw its quarter-on-quarter revenue decline 11.6% to NT$152 billion (US$4.68 billion), according to TrendForce. MediaTek was hampered by weak sales numbers for the Chinese smartphone brand and clients who saw inventory corrections.

MediaTek experienced a decline in revenue from mobile solutions, smart edge platforms and power ICs in the third quarter. TrendForce notes that going forward, inventory reduction will remain MediaTek’s top priority.

Fellow Taiwanese IC designer Realtek, which ranked seventh in Q3, saw revenue decline 5.5% from the previous quarter to US$979 million. Realtek saw networking and automotive application sales remain steady in Q3, but as overall demand for consumer electronics waned, chips for computers, which account for 32% of its product mix, negatively impacted overall
